The father of my little sweetheart came into school this morning to deliver a present to me. This was so incredibly sweet as one would expect that to be the last thing on his mind right now.
Superman (what I'm calling him) had a port placed on Tuesday and started chemo yesterday and, according to dad, the effects were almost immediate. Yesterday there were no smiles from him at all which breaks my heart because he was always smiling!!!
But along with this heartbreaking update came great news. His leukemia is type ALL and not AML! This is the best possible outcome as childhood ALL has a less harsh treatment protocol (doesn't require a bone marrow transplant) and a much higher survival rate (90%).
In fact, as a coincidental twist of fate, one of our teachers is himself a 12 year survivor of ALL.
In other good news, he should be out of the hospital in time to celebrate Christmas at home.
